This beautiful Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake is a feast for the eyes and the palate. It is fragrant, moist, and perfect for any occasion.
Today is a special day, not only because it is New Year’s Eve but also the blog anniversary of Roti n Rice. Eight years ago today, I wrote this post. Hard to believe I have been sharing recipes all these years. It’s been quite a journey!
Celebration Cake
To celebrate, I made this Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake for afternoon tea using my brand new Nordic Ware Fleur De Lis Bundt Pan which made the cake look quite beautiful. I was able to arrange some of the pineapple slices at the side of the pan which was really nice. The pattern held the pineapple slices in place and they stayed on after I inverted the cake.
Christmas Party
I actually made two of these cakes. One was for our Christmas Party on Wednesday. That one turned out to be a little smaller and so I adjusted the recipe for a fuller cake this time. I have to say I am very happy with the way the cake turned out.
